Kim Kardashian (42) is known for her elaborate looks and changing hairstyles. But years of hair coloring and constant use of extensions have left their mark on the reality star. In a video that daughter North (9) published on TikTok, Kim is seen with her 'real' hair again after a very long time. The existing approach shows that the hair of the 42-year-old is still bleached. Probably a 'holdover' from her look for last year's Met Gala. Back then, her hair was bleached in a 14-hour (!) long procedure to get Marylin Monroe's legendary platinum mane.

But compared to her glamorous looks, her own head of hair not only looks very dull and broken, but also extremely thinned out. Your fans are shocked - especially about the extreme hair loss. 'She literally had the prettiest, silkiest black hair ever,' reads one of the comments. Another wrote: 'Kimberly's hair must be exhausted from the constant bleaching!' Hopefully Kim will listen to her fans and give her hair a break - I wish they would.

  Kim Kardashian has almost no hair left!

January 3: Robbie Williams: His daughter suffers from dyslexia

  ARCHIVE - December 5th, 2019, Hamburg: The singer Robbie Williams is on the stage in the Kehrwieder Theater. Williams has once again revealed himself to be a fan of Liverpool manager J. Klopp. 'He's my heartthrob. I love him a bit, »said the Brit

Robbie Williams (48) said in an interview with 'Galore' that his Daughter Theodora (10), called Teddy , lost a friend almost overnight. The reason: her dyslexia. 'Teddy was devastated and completely devastated.' But dad Robbie has the right advice for his eldest daughter. 'I tried to make her understand that sometimes you have to and should let people go - but without sacrificing your own self-esteem in the process,' the singer said in an interview. “This girl didn't show her love and friendship. I speak from experience.'

Robbie Williams has apparently lost people he actually considered friends. He has been with the actress since 2010 Ayda Field (43) married and has four children with her: Theodora, Charlie (8), Coco (4) and Beau (2) . His eldest was recently diagnosed with the same diagnosis her famous father was given: dyslexia, simply put: a reduced ability to read and understand written text. This is exactly what Teddy's girlfriend seems to have had a problem with. “I had to explain to her what dyslexia is, what it means to people, how to deal with it. And that you are not automatically stupid if you suffer from it.”

Robbie himself only made his restriction public in 2020. In his childhood and adolescence, this diagnosis was not even known, which certainly did not make it easy for young Robbie. He mainly suffers from 'numerical' dyslexia, so he has problems with numbers and with adding and subtracting. 'I can't even remember our house number in Los Angeles,' he now reveals. 'It consists of four digits at the beginning of our address and I just can't remember it.' He also suffers from ADHD, depression and social anxiety, as he explained in an emotional speech just last summer .

January 2: Fans are horrified - leaderboard without YOU

Aretha Franklin (†76) is the biggest! At least when it comes to the well-known industry journal 'The Rolling Stone'. That just compiled an updated list of the best singers of all time. 'These are the vocal wonders that have shaped our history and defined our lives,' writes the magazine. Michael Jackson († 50) made it to Toni Braxton (55), Elton John (75) and also younger talents like Taylor Swift (33), Billie Eilish (21) or King's wool (36). Of course you can too Mariah Carey (52) and Whitney Houston († 48) are not missing, who landed in 5th and 2nd place respectively. Together they form the so-called 'Vocal Trinity' for many.

Celine Dion (54) is the third in the group. And that, of all things, was omitted from the magazine. There were 200 places to be awarded, but none was enough for the music experts for the woman who delivered one of the greatest ballads of the 90s with the 'Titanic' hit 'My Heart Will Go On'. With over 300 million records sold, she is one of the most successful singers ever. The industry magazine 'Billboard' once named the 54-year-old 'Queen of Adult Pop'. She has won five Grammys, including one for Album of the Year in 1997.

Fans of the octave wonder are now horrified, angry and disappointed with the list of vocal superstars - without their idol. Sure, a list like this always carries the risk of offending some people. But letting Celine Dion out is surprising indeed. 'Remember that this is the list of the greatest singers, not the list of the greatest voices,' writes the magazine. 'Talent is impressive, genius is transcendent.' Céline did not comment on the leaderboard. The mother of three children has only announced with tears a few weeks ago that they have a rare autoimmune disease called Stiff Person Syndrome , suffer. She therefore had to partially cancel her upcoming European tour.
